Description
- The present application is based on, and claims priority from, Taiwanese Patent Application Number 093131103, filed Oct. 14, 2004, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a semiconductor processing, and more particularly to a manufacturing method of wafer passivation and manufacturing method of wafer bump.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In recent years, with rapid innovation of electronic technology and the thriving semiconductor industry, electrical devices featuring human-friendliness and multifunction have been constantly launched, altogether toward the trend of being lighter, thinner, and smaller. The fabrication of integrated circuits (IC) mainly includes three stages: IC design, IC manufacturing, and IC packaging. Bare chips are made by procedures from wafer fabrication, circuit design, mask making and wafer sawing. Each bare chip cut from the wafer sawed is electrically connected with external signals via bonding pads disposed on the bare chip. Further, sealing materials are used to capsule the bare chip in order to block impacts from variations in humidity, heat, and noise, as well as to provide a media for electrical connection between the bare chip and external circuits, such as printed circuit board (PCB) or other substrate for packaging.
- The common die bonding approaches of prior arts include wire bonding, flip chip bonding, and so on. Due to different junction methods, corresponding bonding pad distributions should be provided in IC fabrication. Commonly used wire bonding chip, for example, features bonding pads disposed in peripheral type, so as to be electrically connected with the junction on the substrate via leads; yet flip chip has its bonding pads arranged in array type and is connected to the junction on the substrate by the bump's electrical and mechanical characteristics.
- It can be understood, therefore, that re-distribution or rearrangement of electrical components of the lower layer may be necessary in consequence of changed package type, so as to support different die bonding methods. However, such tremendous effort to modify circuit distribution only incurs chips with similar functionalities, lagging in cost efficiency. Therefore, a redistribution technology of bonding pad is further developed. This technology relates to a redistribution layer allocated on the chip surface, so as to facilitate re-distribution of chip bonding pads as per the junction method applied. For example, chip originally applied to wire bonding can be disposed with a redistribution layer on the surface, so as to transform the peripheral type of bonding pads into array distribution that is suitable for flip chip bonding.

FIG. 1 is the cross sectional view of a flip chip of prior art. The flip chip of prior art first provides awafer 110, which has anactive surface 110 a, on which a plurality ofbonding pads 112 and apassivation 114 are disposed. And thepassivation layer 114 exposes thebonding pad 112. Then, patterning is performed onwafer 110 to form aredistribution layer 120, which is disposed on thepassivation 114 and electrically connected withbonding pad 112. Next, adielectric layer 130 is formed onwafer 110 to coverredistribution layer 120. Afterwards,dielectric layer 130 is cured. Then, patterning is performed on thedielectric layer 130 to form a plurality ofopenings 130 a, which exposes part of theredistribution layer 120. Then, plasma is applied to clean theactive surface 110 a ofwafer 110. Finally, a bumping process is performed to form the under bump metallurgy (UBM) 140 andbump 150 on the exposedredistribution layer 120 of opening 130 a. - Please notice that the afore-mentioned plasma cleaning procedure is aimed to clean up any residue of
dielectric layer 130 that may remain inside opening 130 a. The purpose is to facilitate further bumping process.

Therefore, in following bumping processes in which solvents such as detergent and flux are applied, incompletely cured parts ofdielectric layer 130 may be easily removed by the solvent and hencedefect 132 may be formed. Therefore,redistribution layer 120 may not be effectively protected bydielectric layer 130 and become exposed to oxidation or external humidity that may enter theredistribution layer 120 throughdefect 132, causing shortage of the internal circuit. - It is an object of the present invention to provide a manufacturing method of wafer passivation that can effectively prevent damages from the passivation layer for enhanced yields.

Then, patterning is performed on the dielectric layer so that the dielectric layer exposes part of the redistribution layer. Then, a cleaning process is performed on the dielectric layer of the wafer. Then, a second curing process is performed to cure the dielectric layer again.
